    text
    copied!<p>I have created an http post request using rails and HTTParty, which is as follows...</p> <pre><code>xml = "&lt;Member&gt;&lt;Telephone-group&gt;&lt;Value&gt;&lt;PhoneNumber&gt;&lt;/PhoneNumber&gt;&lt;/Value&gt;&lt;/Telephone-group&gt;&lt;/Member&gt;" DeleteNumber.post("http://url/path/members/" + msid + "?securityKey=securitykey", :query =&gt; {:newValues =&gt; xml}) </code></pre> <p>The aim is to remove the existing mobile(cell) phone number from the database by posting a blank string, which works fine. However, in the XML document that I am posting to, there are often multiple types of phone number, including home and work numbers. Unfortunately, they are all named the same, as follows...</p> <pre><code>&lt;Telephone-group type="associated" writable="true"&gt; &lt;Value&gt; &lt;PhoneNumber&gt;01234567891&lt;/PhoneNumber&gt; &lt;PhoneType&gt;H&lt;/PhoneType&gt; &lt;PhoneTypeDesc writable="false"&gt;Home&lt;/PhoneTypeDesc&gt; &lt;/Value&gt; &lt;Value&gt; &lt;PhoneNumber&gt;07123456789&lt;/PhoneNumber&gt; &lt;PhoneType&gt;M&lt;/PhoneType&gt; &lt;PhoneTypeDesc writable="false"&gt;Mobile&lt;/PhoneTypeDesc&gt; &lt;/Value&gt; &lt;/Telephone-group&gt; </code></pre> <p>How can I specify that it only remove the mobile phone number? I know how this would be done using xpath, probably something like "<strong>(//phonenumber)[..//phonetype = "M"]</strong>", but I do not know how I can specify this using an http post parameter. Any help is much appreciated, many thanks!</p>
